Pürbach 14 (Andy Bartosh)

Experience varies. I owned a GBJSA. It was built well, but the finish was extremely thick. Patrick also had the same experience. Electrically both sounded wonderful. I took the finish off the...

Surf's Up ! ' Now were the vertical stripes standard w/ option for horizontal or ? '

Is this an overlooked part of Metheny's sound?

For a year? 1948 maybe? They put inlays of then 125, whatever’s it apart is the bout at 16” rather than 17” like the 150 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I owned two of the Westerly made Guild Benedetto Artist Awards and after trying to like them (for too long), I let them both go. One was "very good" acoustically, the other was "fair" acoustically....

Good guitar tone for electric bossanova

Not quite done with my first pass through the circle of fifths, but we're doing the beach next week, so I figured I'd drop this in a little early. I'll just do whatever key I feel like for these,...

Summer of Rhythm … Changes?

I like it a lot. If I'm using a background track, I just unplug the microphone line and plug the backing track into that channel.

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

Isn't that an ES135? I don't remember inlays on a 125; surely they have dot markers..? A quite rare guitar; a UK forum member I know had one a few years ago

1946-48 Gibson ES-125

Yes, this could be very true. I do know one or two other forum members who had issues with Guild JS guitars in particular the finish was heavy and suffocating the guitar's ability to respond. ...

I wish you the best. I broke my left (fret side) clavicle in April 2001 in a bike accident. There are still times when it feels uncomfortable, but mostly as a result of a poor sleeping position. ...

Time After Time - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold - Tune #2

Actually remembering that aspect of Joe's style was what helped me get that last section of our tune. I was reading it correctly, but wasn't really playing it with the feel and authority needed, then...
